I grew up going to the beach with my family…often.  We’re beach people.  I remember saying something to my mom about maybe wanting to have our wedding in the forest-y mountains, to which she gasped and replied…”the mountains?!? who are you?!? we are BEACH PEOPLE!”.  It’s true.  There are few places that hold such a huge sentimental place in my heart, and we got to take penny to some of them last weekend.  It. Was. Amazing.  Honestly Penny smiled and had a great time but she wont remember this day.  I on the other hand will remember it fondly on one of my favorite days as pennys mom.  I got to show her some of the things i loved most, and it was very special.

We started the day with a trip to Harbor House Cafe with some fam, and then scooted off to my favorite beach.  there is this long stretch that you have to walk down to get to the ocean and it was very breezy.  every time a  gust would blow by penny would get the biggest smile on her face.  then she saw the ocean, and i swear she lit up!  her little excited face just blew my mind, and her cute lil two piece with her sunnies were RIdiculous.  i loved seeing her little diaper buns in that little bikini.  We also got to share the day with our best friends and their little one.

its so great having close friends to walk through this crazy journey called “parenthood”.  plus it is SUPER fun watching penny and charlie grow together.  AND we get to take cute pictures like THIS to embarrass them with when they’re older…

note the hand penny has on her friend.  we’ve noticed that shes a pretty handsy little lady.  she has a little paw on her friends in nearly all photos we have of her with another baby pal.

shes a lover.
